The goal of my PhD was to develop new routes to design chemo-mechanoresponsive materials, materials that respond chemically to a mechanical stress, in a reversible way. All the systems designed during my PhD thesis were based on the functionalization of silicone sheets. First we created cryptic site surfaces by embedding biotin ligands into PEG brushes. The couple streptavidin/biotin was used as a model system. At rest, the surface so-prepared was antifouling and biotin ligands were specifically recognized by the streptavidin when the surface was stretched at 50%. Unfortunately, in this first approach, the mechanosensitive surface did not lead to a reversible process. In a second approach, we modified the silicone surface by using the polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film deposition. This strategy was based on the covalent cross-linking of modified enzyme, the β-galactosidase, into the PEM. We succeeded in modulating the enzyme activity in the film under stretching and this approach appears as partially reversible under stretching/unstretching cycles. This work represents the first reported system where enzymatic activity can be modulated by stretching due to modulation of the enzyme conformation. In a last approach, we also designed a mixed system consisting of a silicone sheet onto which a polyacrylamide hydrogel is covalentlyattached with the goal to create a stretchable gel into which one can covalently attach enzymes or chemical mechanophores. These enzymes or mechanophores can thus be put under mechanical stress. We succeeded in creating a system that can be stretched up to 50% without detachment of the gel from the silicone and without inducing cracks in the gel.
